PREMIER
Currently in production — stay tuned for the next batch Azusa PREMIER is a limited-quantity model and is currently sold out. We will announce the next production run on this page as soon as it is ready.
[Limited quantity] Azusa PREMIER is a mechanical watch defined by a sunken dial reminiscent of urushi lacquerware. A meticulously crafted piece, it unites the skills of our artisans.
Its defining feature is the sunken dial, curving gently toward the center. Unlike an ordinary flat dial, this three-dimensional form gives it a rarely seen individuality.
The dial and part of the case also carry a DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating. With high hardness, low friction, and excellent corrosion resistance, it keeps the watch looking beautiful for years.
Note, too, the engraving worked into the DLC-coated case. Machining such a hard surface demands exceptional skill and many stages, and is far from easy to achieve. This painstaking design gives the watch singular character and presence.
A power reserve indicator and calendar add to its function as well. Refined in both design and technique, it is Azusa's flagship model—offered in a limited quantity.
